OK, I can understand the appeal of a show dealing with a post-EMP-like event, but on the face of it, I don't see how any one event can negate the laws of physics. If a car is disabled, it still has an alternator full of wound copper wire and a magnet. It should be straight forward to rig a mechanical method of spinning it and to hook the output to a lightbulb, and then you have light. You can generate low milliamp currents from a lemon. All of these have been disabled too? Any EMP pulse will be widely disruptive but not 100% so -- there will be some percentage of the equipment that still functions. I'm just very skeptical of the premises, but I guess it will be easier to comment when we know what the event is, after the premiere.
